This website explains what a QR code is, reasons to use them, how to use them, and what they may look like. This
gives students a good explanation about them and their purpose.

Differentiated Instructional Support: Describe how instruction can be differentiated (changed or altered) to meet the
needs of gifted or accelerated students: Ask the students to practice spelling the sight words.

Discuss additional activities you could do to meet the needs of students who might be struggling with the material:

to a table with all the words so the student doesn’t have to go around the room.
